Essex Capital Markets Secures 74% LTV Financing for Logan Square Multifamily Acquisition

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – Essex Capital Markets, LLC is pleased to announce the successful financing of a five-unit multifamily property located at 2027 N. Humboldt Blvd. in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood.

Transaction Summary

The transaction was facilitated by Directors Asher Motew and Quinn Keenan, who arranged a $1,672,500 acquisition loan with a credit union.

The financing was secured at a 6.00% interest rate and 73.84% loan-to-value ratio, providing the sponsor with the proceeds needed to complete the acquisition.

“This asset was already one of the best-renovated buildings on the block, but the rent roll didn’t reflect it yet. Getting a lender comfortable underwriting where rents are headed, not just where they sit today, took real conviction on their part,” said Director Asher Motew. “We found a credit union willing to look past the in-place numbers and lean into the story, which meant the sponsor got the proceeds needed on day one instead of waiting a year to refinance.”
